Evaluation of the cerebral vasculature by intraarterial DSA--with emphasis on in vivo resolution.

Comparative study was performed between IA DSA and stereoscopic magnification angiography in relation to small vessel resolution, image quality of the vessels and image quality of various pathologic lesions. The vessels of various diameters, accurately measured by stereoscopic magnification angiography, were localized on IA DSA and their resolution was carefully assessed. The vessels more than 1 mm in diameter were equally visualized on IA DSA and conventional angiography. The vessels between 1 mm and 0.5 mm showed fair resolution on IA DSA, whereas IA DSA did not resolve the vessels smaller than 0.5 mm in diameter to good advantage. In addition, image quality of the vessels on IA DSA was compared with the conventional methods. Cerebral gyrus, venous sinuses, and intracerebral veins are often shown better on DSA. The small vessels such as lenticulostriate, small cortical, thalamoperforate and meningohypophyseal arteries were not defined on DSA. Equal or better image quality was obtained in more than 85% of cases with pathologic lesions. Examinations were performed faster with lower cost and lower complication rate. Information provided by DSA was often sufficient for managements of patients. Combined use of DSA and conventional angiography will improve diagnostic accuracy and decrease the complication rate.

The value of digital subtraction angiography in peripheral vascular diseases.

The iliac and subclavian arteries and their distal branches were studied by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in 79 patients and the results compared with conventional angiograms for 35 patients. Techniques, results, advantages and disadvantages are described. DSA (both intravenous and intra-arterial) looks very promising in the diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease.

Balloon-occluded arterial infusion therapy in the treatment of primary and recurrent gynecologic malignancies.

Balloon-occluded arterial infusion (BOAI) of bilateral internal iliac arteries produces high drug concentration as well as increased arterial flow of pelvic organs. Twenty-seven patients with primary and locally recurrent gynecologic malignancies were treated with BOAI of cisplatinum. Six of 10 patients with primary advanced uterine cancer and 5 of 11 patients with recurrent cancer showed clinical response. In 6 patients, BOAI was performed as an adjuvant therapy to radiation or other chemotherapy. Toxicity was similar to that seen with systemic treatment using cisplatinum, but its frequency and degree were less severe.

Diagnostic accuracy of intravenous digital subtraction angiography for peripheral vascular diseases.

Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV DSA) was performed on 406 regions of 241 patients with peripheral vascular diseases. The results were compared with conventional angiograms for 167 arteries. There was excellent correlation between conventional angiograms and IV DSA. The diagnostic accuracy was 95 with 97% sensitivity and 94% specificity when more than 60% stenoses were taken into consideration. DSA is a less-invasive procedure which can be performed on out-patients for screening and follow-up evaluation of peripheral vascular diseases.
